I want to discuss what is called an “evergreen” topic with Jay Stubbs on our show – Long Term Care. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about long-term care recently, and as Jay is considered an expert in this field, I wanted to spend 15 to 20 minutes with Jay discussing everything a person should know about long-term care insurance and how to financially navigate an extended health care event. Let’s start with this because many listeners have probably never had this type of protection explained in detail to them – Jay, how do you define long term care insurance?

Regular listeners know that I tend to be skeptical of a lot of things related to my own industry, financial services, including a lot financial advertisements and glossy marketing content masquerading as responsible financial advice, as Michelle knows firsthand, I get very, very irritated when I hear someone in my line of work espouse a bunch of info that is nothing more than lies. And in times of market turbulence, this type of misinformation gets shouted from the roof tops. So with that in mind, we’re going to play a little game of “Just Stop It”, kind of like true or false, except, everything Michelle is going to say is false, and I’m going to try to smack some sense into those of you listening that are considering these financial tactics.

As of this recording, the stock market is on a tear, apparently reacting very positively to the election of Donald Trump for president, with indexes like the S&P 500 posting all times highs recently. For many investors, this recent market run-up has provided quite a bit of reassurance with their portfolios, but for some, there’s a fear that they be missing out on these gains, some investors fear that the market is overvalued, some investors have fear of an ever-looming stock market correction, and finally, for some of you all, there’s just a general fear of the stock market itself. All of these issues is what we are going to tackle today.
